Moll Flanders%gentlewoman%identity%outsider
This paper discloses the marginalized position of the low-class women in the man-dominated, money-orientated society. E-merging as an orphan from the lowest social class, Moll courageously defies her birth and manages to achieve the serf-designated identity of a gentlewoman. Centering on Moll's search for personal identity, chis paper discusses the various roles she has assumed to obtain gentlewoman-ship, a maid, mistress, wife, thief, prisoner, penitent and finally a prosperous gentlewoman, with a view of unmasking the real Moll under-neath the multi-layered disguises. In fact Moll is nobody but an outsider being marginalized in the patriarchal society.
